Kazuhisa Hashimoto, the creator of the Konami Code, has passed away. That news comes from former colleague and Konami composer Yuji Takenouchi.
The Konami Code first appeared in the famous side-scrolling shooter Gradius on the NES. By inputting Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A and then Start when paused, players could use the cheat code to receive all power-ups.
After Gradius, the Konami Code would go on to be included in a ton of different titles, going beyond Konami’s own titles. It is one of the most recognized gaming cheat codes of all time.

Free update for Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution to add new Master Rule as well as new cards and characters
Posted on 4 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution, formerly a Switch exclusive game, will be released on other platforms in Spring 2020. However, the Switch version will be getting a free update at the same time which will add the new content the other versions are getting. As we previously reported, this will include new cards such as Crystron Halqifibrax as well as 15 new characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS.
Perhaps more importantly though, the update will also include the new Master Rule change that’s also coming to the TCG on April 1st. The new Master Rule will once again allow players to summon Fusion, Synchro and Xyz monsters to the Main Monster Zone. Currently in Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution, it’s only possible to summon one of these monsters to the Extra Monster Zone, which severely limits the viability of many decks.

Hideo Kojima wanted Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand to come with a a sensor that measured how your breath smelled

Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand has an original mechanic that goes beyond the actual gameplay. Through a light sensor included with the cartridge, players are able to charge up solar weapons by going outside.
Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear fame was behind Boktai, and he actually had ever greater ambitions for the GBA title. Had he been able to follow through with his vision, it would have shipped with a sensor measuring how your breath smelled.
Here’s a recent translation from Shmuplations that was published in a 2003 issue of Nintendo Dream:

Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball has been out in Japan since June – so it came as a bit of a surprise when Konami released a demo for the game today on the Japanese eShop. The game is also currently on sale and be purchased for 3,980 Yen on the eShop. A Western release of this game is pretty unlikely, so this demo is probably your best bet for trying out the series.
